Welcome to the Eagle River Nature Center – Connecting people with nature…
The Center offers nature studies for children and adults, hiking and public use facilities for overnight camping. The center is a trailhead for a portion of the Historic Iditarod Trail/Crow Pass Trail. This section of the Historic Iditarod Trail, between the Eagle River Nature Center and Girdwood, was formerly used as a transportation and mail route between the villages of Portage and Knik. The trail was abandoned when the railway was completed in 1919 and reopened for hiking in 1971 by a Girl Scout trail crew.

This cache is one of three created by The Central Landmark Program, a course on Geospatial Technology offered at Central Middle School in Anchorage, Alaska. Students in this course investigate Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) as part of their curricular studies. Geocaching has been an exciting way for students to expand their knowledge and create legacy projects for years to come.
This cache is featured in the Anchorage Convention and Visitor’s Bureau brochure on Geocaching and GPS, offered to visitors and geocachers in the Summer of 2007.
